CL Project 6: Organizing and Delegating
January 30, 2011 1 Comment
Project six in the Competent Leadership Manual is: Organizing and Delegating.
The purpose of this project is to practice general organization skills and the ability to delegate tasks, and not try to do everything one’s self.
What’s notable about this project is that it is the first project that cannot be completed entirely by performing meeting roles in the club.
The project entails completing one of the following tasks:
- Help Organize a Club Speech Contest
- Help Organize a Club Special Event
- Help Organize a Club Membership Campaign or Contest
- Help Organize a Club Public Relations Campaign
- Help Produce the Club Newsletter
- Assist the Club Webmaster
For this project, I helped to organize our club’s combination International Speech and Table Topics contests.
I served as the Chief Judge for both contests. This entailed: appointing and conducting a training session for the contest judges, appointing timers and ballot counters, and supervising the work of all three groups.
This was an extraordinary learning experience and was great practice. I feel that I really grew as a leader after completing this project.
